MARQUETTE — During the second week of May in 1990, Steven Niemi, then 5, asked his grandpa Donald Hansen if he could take a ride on his snowmobile. The weather was sunny in the 80s and there was no snow on the ground, so Hansen told his disappointed grandson that he’d have to wait until the next year. Or so he thought.
On May 9 and 10, 1990, an unusually heavy and wet snow storm hit the Upper Peninsula, covering the ground in the Marquette area with 8.2 inches on May 9 and 14.2 inches on May 10.
